Another chance to investigate mysterious goings-on at a haunted RAF airfield is being conjured up this summer.

A team of ghost hunters from True Paranormal Events UK is returning to RAF Binbrook on Saturday, August 18 for an evening of spooky encounters.

The former Second World War base is now a humble community centre in the village of Brookenby but many believe the seemingly innocuous interior harbours a panoply of strange activity from bumps in the night to alleged possessions of visitors.

After the base closed in the 1980s, it is said to have been haunted by “violent poltergeist activity” with the spirits of former airmen and other lost souls.

On a freezing February night, we were shown a table reading in the late-night blackness of the main hall and witnessed a séance in the theatre where spirits were apparently ‘pushing’ guests in response to ‘yes’ and ‘no’ questions.

Among those we spoke to on the night was Brookenby parish clerk Sam Coulam, who works in the building, and finds it a disturbing place to be after dark. She said: “We just have strange things happening after we have these events. Hot water urns will stop working, the CCTV will go funny. Certain areas just feel eerie, but other areas are absolutely fine.

“I have an office upstairs but I won’t use it, I work from home.”

The next investigation will see more table readings, séances and the use of “up to date equipment” in a bid to communicate with the deceased.
